Black Diamond is a suspense novel set against the worlds of police corruption in Los Angeles and meth manufacturing in the rural Northwest. Susan Muir has left her career as an investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times to return to her hometown of Marble Point, Idaho. But soon after she settles in, her reporter's instinct is aroused, first by curious doings on the home front, and then as her past life catches up when suspended LAPD Police Sergeant Dominick Garcia appears on the scene, chased by LAPD Internal Affairs Lieutenant Charlie Martin. Sparks fly. Murder, drugs, chase -- and more corruption.
